Here is a glimpse of what Bill shared in the interview:
“And so, he’s taught me along the way that in order to be successful in whatever you do…Eight hours isn’t even close.”
“And so, my father taught me a lot about having a mental toughness of whatever you’re going through and in the fact that if you can control your fear and whatever else is racing through your mind, you can push forward into these uncomfortable situations as you grow as a human being.”
…”‘What are you thinking?’ Because those thoughts are really generating your feelings… And I use that a lot now as a business owner because you’re worried about everything that happens within a business.”
“‘Tell the truth’ really came from Manny Newburger… And so, we really make sure that, obviously, the company as well as my children know the value in telling the truth.”
